Smaller resort but a good thing because not as many crowds.

My husband and I and another couple stayed here and we were very happy with everything except the pool. We had one we liked but the other 2 not so much. The beach was great ad not crowded. Our room was very nice. The couple we were with had trouble with their air conditioning but they were moved to another room and happy after that. What is good about this area is that you have a trolley and beach walk that you can go to other hotels to experience other dining and shopping. We were happy with our choice.

Nice location, great beach access

My main complaint was how dark it was in our room. The light is frustrating in the sink area for applying makeup or doing hair. The other thing negative about our room was the air conditioning. I felt it was difficult to regulate. Good things: our partial ocean view did have a nice view of the ocean. Nice little balcony with 2 chairs and small table. Comfortable bed. Nice water pressure in the shower. The safe was very handy to have in the room and very easy to use. Pool area is great and very conveniently located near the restaurant. Great beach access.
On site shop, on site ice cream parlor! Lots of paths for jogging/walking. You can walk quite a ways on the beach or use the path. Someone in shape can easily walk to Whalers Village, or you can get picked up by the free shuttle to go there and come back on.

Great Staff, Nice Location But Accommodations showing their age

We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort from April 24-28, 2019. Because we were a party of 4 (originally) they upgraded us from a regular room to one of the cabins on the golf course. It was nice to have the extra space, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, but the cabin we stayed in was certainly showing its age. It smelled musty when we first arrived, but opening the windows remedied that. Some of the window shades were hard to open or wouldn't stay open (wooden slats) and we had to call about greasy, oiling residue on the kitchen floor when we first checked in. Housekeeping did show up and cleaned up the floor right away and made up the sofa bed. Sofa bed was not very comfortable, but manageable. Overall the cabin was clean, just old. Housekeeping was hit or miss. One day we got replacement shampoo/conditioner but no toilet paper for one bathroom and the next day lots of toilet paper but no shampoo/conditioner. Of course we didn't spend much time in the cabin. So the fact it was old didn't bother us that much. The resort grounds were beautiful and it was nice to be right on the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Whaler's Village was a quick walk and we loved the hotel restaurant for our first dinner and everyday breakfast.

Even more reasons than before to stay here

This was our second stay at Royal Lahaina, the first being in 2012. We stayed in the same Deluxe Oceanfront Cottage (Room 8122 in Cottage C), but immediately noticed something new upon check in. The entire room had been renovated. New exterior siding, new flooring, new bedding, new furniture, new A/C unit, new flat-screen TV, improved WiFi. But the best parts were still the same: walk out of our downstairs cottage straight into the ocean. Or spread out on either a lounge chair or the couch on our covered patio. Sure, other properties on Ka'anapali Beach may have more amenities, but we love the old Hawaiian feel and customer service of the Royal Lahaina. And did I mention there's no resort fee? Only $15 per night for self-parking. Oh, and don't forget to ask about the little-publicized Paradise Package. An additional $3 per day per guest for the length of your stay gets you a daily power-packed Mai Tai. You can thank me later.
